He got how much for ruining the site and profiting off years of its users' work?

9 digits, I believe

140mil-240ish million from dumping his shares.

I assume the rest of his sentiment goes something like: 'not working very hard.....to increase shareholder value'

I might buy ONE(1) share of reddit and ask for it to be directly registered to a stock certificate so I can someday point to it and say "I personally ate a piece of its corpse" out of

Spez needs to go down in his nuclear fallout bunker and stay there.

WOW A BOSS WANTS PEOPLE TPO WORK HARDER?????

People have been saying this about the U.S. tech industry for years and the reason is that the rich were mad working in tech here in the U.S. used to be a decent career and so this became the bullshit line given to corporate media by CEOs.

There is literally nothing to it beyond this.

Spez maybe should have worked harder at not destroying both shareholder value and the trust of the people that actually made the site what it was.

Like who is he working for here, because it doesn't seem like anyone's pleased about him

Feature-wise I feel Lemmy is nearly identical to Reddit. The biggest advantage Reddit has is the communities and they've been basically hacking away at them for over a year.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Hey that's not fair. Reddit has been working hard at making itself more closed and on giving it a far shittier UI

This guy has a face in need of a fist, as the German saying is translated.

It's frustrating that rich scumbags just get to live a rich life. Where's the justice in that? Saint Luigi deliver us from assholes like Huffman.

Glad I deleted my account. Fuck reddit.
